## Summary

The procurement process involves East Renfrewshire Council as the contracting authority, which is located at Eastwood HQ, Eastwood Park, Giffnock, UK. The title of the tender is "Ground Investigation & Testing Services Framework," classified under general public services. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the stage of this process is at the award phase, with the contract signed on 2nd October 2017. This framework agreement is set for a duration of 36 months, with an opportunity to extend on a month-to-month basis for up to an additional year or until a maximum value of £160,000 is reached, after which it will automatically terminate.
